One of my favorite AI art pieces, "AI Grass" by Artonymousartifakt on SuperRare, February 2020. This is a pix2pix model that he trained on photographs of a single grass blade. I love the elemental poetics of this interaction with a natural form, a generated image that seeks to re-imagine the shape of earthly generation.

I heard about Artonymousartifakt from Pindar Van Arman, who described him as one of the only other people making art with AI when he first started out in the early 2000s. Artonymousartifakt was also one of the 167 people to mint on the SuperRare V1 contract (AI Grass is on V2). I just came across this thread by YeahYeah that details the history and meaning of this unique set of artists.

Artonymousartifakt continues to quietly create some of the most distinctive and poetic AI artworks in the space.

In 2022, we stepped into what I like to call the 'everything-AI' era. This transformative wave may not be immediately apparent to many, but it has already fundamentally changed how we create and consume content, art included. AI revolution, powered by easy-to-use tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, and further accelerated by meme culture, has led to a massive increase in digital creativity. The quality of this new AI creations are reaching levels that increasingly blur the lines between human-made/captured and machine-generated. Today, it's almost impossible to tell them apart, showing that we've crossed a point of no return.

This significant event ignited my curiosity. What were the beginnings of AI art and AI content creation? What was the path to this significant change that now affects billions of people? Who were the first to experiment with machine-generated creativity, and who were the pioneers of this shift?

The earliest steps with AI and computer-generated art can be traced back to the mid-20th century, but a major leap forward happened about a decade ago. The invention of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in 2014 and the DeepDream algorithm in 2015 were like the first brushstrokes on a nearly blank canvas. The 'UnderTheGAN' collection aims to highlight these foundational moments, giving viewers a chance to understand the journey to the AI world we live in today and the pioneers behind it.

Space Age

The "Space Age" in fashion refers to a distinctive period in the mid-20th century, particularly the 1960s, when fashion designers drew inspiration from the advancements and fascination with outer space exploration. This era was marked by the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as the futuristic visions of technology and space travel. Fashion designers during the Space Age sought to incorporate elements of this futuristic and intergalactic aesthetic into their designs. the Space Age also influenced fashion and advertising photography. Photographers incorporated futuristic elements, such as metallic textures, sleek lines, and surreal compositions, to create a sense of otherworldliness and technological advancement I have created this collection by drawing inspiration from studying the works of photographers from that era and the fashion designs of that time. Instead of using fabric, I have utilized colored papers to design hats and other editorial garments.

The Ethereum blockchain, introduced in 2015, revolutionized digital art by enabling asset tokenization. This allowed for unique 'ownership' of digital items, transforming easily copied artworks into scarce, provable assets. This development had a significant impact on AI-generated art, as it could now be uniquely owned and verified. In 2018, around 400 early AI artworks were minted and claimed on the blockchain, signaling the start of this now 'ownable' art form. By 2019, the number rose to just under 4000, showing increasing interest. Post-2020, the volume of minted AI artworks became so vast that it's impossible to accurately determine.

The mission of the 'UnderTheGAN' collection is to research, acquire, and present the earliest AI artworks in existence, whose authenticity and provenance are indisputable and verifiable due to their tokenized nature. This collection presents the works of a select group of pioneers who played a significant role in fueling the AI art revolution we are experiencing today. Jediwolf
